sandwich gamble

Is everything we pile on
really going to pay off? When we put it
to ultimate test? In the mouth

of an innocent wish, unspoken
For bliss, but already so full

of a gnawing regret. Should I even

have taken a picture of this?

Now everyone's seen what cannot
be unmade, but only consumed

by grief. Oh bless us, oh lord,
for this,

was not what I need.
